As far as Loras' section goes Dubuque has an abundance of great eateries. It depends on what level of gastronomy you are looking for. Dubuque 365ink is a great reference for all things food, music, and culture.

In Dubuque, I might suggest the following:

Crust - brick oven style pizza ... plenty of options for traditional italian pastas ... located at 3rd and Main, 5 mins from Loras campus
Houlihan's - located right near the Iowa-Wisconsin bridge, right next to the Mystique Casino ... all-american menu (burgers, steaks, chicken entrees

For after the game, I always enjoy Lot One. Located at 1st & Main ... age ranges from 21-35 ... music isn't overbearing ... prices are modest ($3.50 for domestic, $4.00 for mixed drink). The Busted Lift, located under Vinny Vanucci's, is a nice calm, laid back bar on most nights ... when a band is playing, it can turn into a interesting scene, but I enjoy it most nights

And for your entertainment please, Dubuque is home to not one, but two casino's. I mentioned earlier the Mystique, which is near the Iowa-Wisconsin bridge, but most people I've heard from prefer the Diamond Jo, located just west of Main Street.

Gin Rickeys Sports Cafe has some of the coldest brew and the best fish sandwiches this side of the Mississippi.

Can not go wrong with Fat Tuesdays Cajun bar in Dubuque for a great drink and the ability to shoot Free Throws all night long.

Downtown Harrisburg, Pa (10 miles) is filled with Irish Pubs that are soccer friendly and have extremely large soccer populations on Saturdays before the kids come out at night. Try ABC Brewing Co, Boiling Springs Tavern, The BrewHouse, TJ Rockwells, anything on Second st Downtown Harrisburg, the Gingerbread Man in Mechanicsburg. I am probably going to The Brewhouse or TJ Rockwells if I am coming in from out of town.
